5.0 out of 5 stars A great reference text. Well organized and presented., June 11, 2003
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is an excellent text for every electrical engineering student whether graduate or undergraduate. I found the information to be clear and concise which made the concepts easily manageable. The use of mathematical formulas are placed in such a way as to aid with the reading rather than to be overbearing as other solid-state physics texts can be. The author does a great job in sectioning the book into parts, thereby making it easier to focus on a particular area of interest without having to hunt for the deisred information. For practicing engineers, this is a good reference book, especially if you are looking to gain a further understanding of device physics.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read, concept-oriented treatment of the subject., September 1, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Electronic Properties of Materials (Hardcover)
The author should be commended for writing a textbook that focuses on the concepts instead of mathematical formulas, making the subject easy to comprehend. At the same time, the formulas are there for more indepth understanding. Overall, a good textbook for an undergraduate student of materials science.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful, May 28, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I have read many textbooks as an Engineering student. This is the best.
Very helpful Appendices that I have even referred to in other classes. Well organized chapters. Thorough and easy (relatively speaking) explanations.
My only complaint is chapter in-balance; Some chapters are only a few pages while others seem to last forever.
